Webshare alternatives by residential traffic volume
Webshare’s recorded residential prices produce several genuine alternatives, but only Geonode has a simple one-crossing pattern. Geonode costs less from 2 GB onward. Thordata loses only at 20 GB, Squid Proxies wins from 2 through 250 GB, and 9Proxy and DataImpulse alternate as bundle sizes change. The Webshare page presents the recorded prices as discounts without an end date, so this is a dated checkout comparison rather than a permanent ranking.

Scope and calculation
The engine checks 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 GB of residential traffic. It charges the cheapest published bundle that covers each requirement, including unused traffic. Quote-only rows are excluded. A crossing between samples marks a change in the cheaper checkout; it does not locate an exact break-even point. Dataset method and pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Webshare’s price to beat
Webshare costs $3.50 at 1 GB, $27.50 for 10 GB, $65 for 25 GB, $122.50 for 50 GB, $225 for 100 GB, $500 for 250 GB, $875 for 500 GB, and $1,500 for 1,000 GB. The row is monthly and rotating only, with country or city filtering. Sticky sessions, traffic expiry, rollover on the provider’s page, and a concurrency maximum are not published. The page shows the first rate discounted from $7 per GB without a promotion end date. Webshare residential pricing and terms, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
1. Geonode: cheaper from 2 GB onward
Webshare wins at 1 GB with $3.50 against Geonode’s $7.92 minimum. At 2, 5, and 10 GB, Geonode still costs $7.92 while Webshare has moved to $27.50. Geonode remains cheaper through 1,000 GB, including $64.80 against $225 at 100 GB and $500 against $1,500 at 1,000 GB. Geonode pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T15:42:45Z Webshare pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
Geonode publishes rotating and sticky access, country, city, and ASN targeting, and bandwidth that never expires. A concurrency maximum and sticky-session duration are not published. Webshare also omits concurrency and expiry, but records no sticky access or ASN filtering. Confirm the missing session limits and the live Webshare discount before switching.

2. Thordata: cheaper except at 20 GB
Thordata costs $2 against Webshare’s $3.50 at 1 GB. Its $18 10 GB checkout is below Webshare’s $27.50 at 2, 5, and 10 GB. At 20 GB, Webshare costs $65 while Thordata must buy 50 GB for $75. Thordata moves back below Webshare at 50 GB and stays there through 1,000 GB, ending at $730 against $1,500. Thordata pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:34:28Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Thordata publishes unlimited concurrent sessions, sticky sessions up to 90 minutes, and country, state, city, and ASN targeting. It requires a compliance review for new users, and its expiry and rollover on the provider’s page terms are unpublished. The KYC step and unknown traffic validity need checking even though its published session controls are more explicit than Webshare’s row.

3. Squid Proxies: cheaper from 2 through 250 GB
Webshare wins at 1 GB, $3.50 against Squid’s $15 minimum. Squid’s 10 GB package then costs $15 against Webshare’s $27.50 at 2, 5, and 10 GB. Squid remains lower at 20, 50, 100, and 250 GB; at 250 GB its 400 GB package costs $300 against Webshare’s $500. Squid has no public quote at 500 or 1,000 GB, so the winning range stops at 250 GB. Squid Proxies pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:41:11.108Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
Squid’s packages include a rising number of proxy slots along with traffic. Its row records rotating access and 30-day traffic, but no sticky mode, geographic targeting, or concurrency maximum. A switcher needs to map the required slot count and controls to the selected package rather than compare bandwidth alone. Squid Proxies residential evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T17:41:11.108Z
4. 9Proxy: six winning points with several reversals
9Proxy loses at 1 GB because its $15 minimum is above Webshare’s $3.50. It wins at 2 and 5 GB with $15 against $27.50, loses at 10 and 20 GB, then wins at 50 and 100 GB with $105 and $150 against $122.50 and $225. Webshare wins at 250 GB, while 9Proxy wins again at 500 and 1,000 GB with its $800 tier. 9Proxy pricing API, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z Dataset pair analysis dated 2026-07-26
9Proxy publishes 180-day traffic, rotating and sticky access, and country, state, city, and ISP targeting. Purchases are non-refundable, while concurrency and sticky duration are unpublished. Webshare offers a two-day refund window but publishes fewer controls. The longer validity and stricter refund term should both enter the switch decision. 9Proxy documentation and refund evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:03:55Z Webshare refund evidence, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
5. DataImpulse: lower at six non-contiguous samples
Webshare’s $3.50 checkout beats DataImpulse’s $5 at 1 GB. DataImpulse wins at 2 and 5 GB, loses at 10 GB, then wins at 20 and 50 GB with its $50 tier. Webshare costs less at 100 and 250 GB because DataImpulse’s next checkout is $800. DataImpulse wins again at 500 and 1,000 GB, where $800 is below Webshare’s $875 and $1,500. DataImpulse pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z Webshare pricing, retrieved 2026-07-25T16:33:08.221Z
DataImpulse publishes traffic that never expires, rollover, rotating and sticky access, and country, state, city, ZIP, and ASN targeting. A concurrency maximum and sticky duration are not published. It has broader recorded controls and clearer validity than Webshare, but the $5, $50, and $800 checkout steps make the target volume decisive.

Decision rule
Recheck Webshare’s live discount first. Then use the exact expected traffic, since Thordata, 9Proxy, and DataImpulse each reverse against Webshare. Geonode has the simplest price range, while Squid stops at 250 GB. Finally verify session modes, targeting, concurrency, traffic validity, refunds, slots, and KYC.
